Chapter Eleven · The Story of Han Xiangzi

Taking a false shape, Xiangzi brings news of himself;Touched by magic, a stone lion turns to gold

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: in a courtyard before a gateway, a young Daoist with a gourd at his waist holds a cloth in one hand and raises the other to halt a stone lion leaping in through the gate, while an elderly lady beside an incense table shrinks back and covers her face with her sleeve.

貧者衣中珠,本自圓明好。

贫者衣中珠,本自圆明好。

The jewel in the poor man’s robeis round and bright and perfect of itself.

不會自尋求,卻數他人寶。

不会自寻求,却数他人宝。

He never thinks to look for it himself,but counts the treasures of others.

數他寶,終無益,只是教君空費力。

数他宝,终无益,只是教君空费力。

Counting others’ treasurebrings no gain in the end;it only makes you labour in vain.
